yup, if it looks workable for IPv4, i will.

but given the fact that interval-based rate limitation filters out too
much (due to limited "hz" resolution), I think so.

i just do not feel like adding more complexity into it. do you have
a plan for real use of "N events in M second"? if that can be
covered by "N events in 1 second", I'd say i like simpler one.
